Custom Items

Paradise Cove runs on more than vanilla gear. Layered over ordinary Minecraft is a deep custom RPG-item system: weapons, armor, tools, and accessories with their own stats, tiers, and powers that go far beyond anything you'll craft on a normal workbench. This is how you go from "scraping by against the bees" to "clearing dungeons and winning duels."

This page covers what custom items are, how their tiers work, the full range of gear types, set bonuses, forging and upgrading, and tonics.

The forge: where custom gear is upgraded and reforged.

Looking for accessories?

Rings, amulets, bracelets, and charms have their own Gear and Accessories page. This page focuses on weapons, armour, tools, and set bonuses.

What Custom Items Are

Custom items are unique pieces of gear: a sword that hits for far more than diamond, a fishing rod with its own tricks, a pickaxe that mines like nothing else. They carry custom stats, special powers, and a rarity tier, and many of them are earned rather than bought.

A lot of the best early gear comes straight out of the story:

• The Honed Edge: a custom sword from the storyline.
• The Covecaster: a custom rod earned along the way.
• The Refined Pickaxe: a tool reward from the main quest.

Why custom items matter

Your custom gear is the backbone of your power. Dungeons, bosses, and PvP are all balanced around RPG gear, not vanilla diamond. If you're getting flattened, the answer is almost always better items, better stats, and a completed set. See Dungeons, Combat and Bosses, and Skills.

Rarity and Star Tiers

Every custom item shows a star rating, from one star up to four. More stars means a stronger item with better stat rolls.

Stars	Tier Name	What it means
1STAR	Common	Entry-level custom gear, a clear step above vanilla
2STAR	Rare	Solid mid-tier gear
3STAR	Epic	Strong gear for serious dungeon and PvP play
4STAR	Legendary	Top-tier gear with the best stat rolls

Higher-tier items don't just hit harder on paper: they roll better stats, so two items of the same name can differ depending on their tier and rolls. When comparing loot, check the stars and the stats, not just the item name.

Item Types

The Cove's arsenal is huge. Here's the full range, sorted by how you'll use it.

Melee

• Swords
• Katanas

• Daggers
• Spears
• Halberds
• Whips

Ranged

Armour and Accessories

• Armour (helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots, in custom sets)
• Rings

• Talismans
• Bracelets
• Gems

Different weapon classes play differently: a dagger is fast and close, a spear gives reach, a staff or tome leans on magic damage. Pick what fits your build and your Skills.

Notable Named Weapons

Dungeon Blade

A powerful melee weapon crafted by combining gear from multiple dungeons.

The top-tier endgame weapon.

KOTH Longsword

An event-exclusive prize. Enchanted with Sharpness V, Unbreaking III, Bane of Arthropods III, and Smite III. Only obtainable by winning a KOTH event.

Dungeon-source weapons

The Dracula Sword (Dracula's Manor), Ankh Scepter (Ancient Ruins), and Miner's Pickaxe (Abandoned Mine) are dungeon loot drops used in crafting. They're covered under Dungeons.

Set Bonuses

Wearing multiple pieces of the same item set unlocks set bonuses: extra stats that kick in as you complete more of the set.

Jartonite Set

The Jartonite set has exact, published bonuses tied to piece count.

Pieces worn	Bonus
3 pieces	-10% damage taken
4 pieces (full set)	+15% PvE damage, Speed I

Unevolved Jartonite pieces come with Protection VI and Unbreaking V with Fire Resistance as base enchantments. Evolved pieces become 3STAR (Epic) tier, gain +3.5 armour points, and reach 5,500 durability.

To evolve a piece: bring it to the Honey Forge along with an Evolution Stone. Each piece must be evolved individually.

Chase the full set

Three pieces gives you the damage reduction. Four pieces adds the PvE damage bonus and Speed I on top. The jump from three to four is significant, especially for dungeon runs.

Arcane Set

Another full set worth assembling for its own set bonuses. Mix-and-matching is fine while you gear up, but the real payoff is completing the set.

Forging, Salvage, and Upgrading

Head to the Gear Station and Honey Forge in the Cove to craft, break down, and improve gear.

Station	What it does
Gear Station	Craft custom weapons and gear using Dungeon Souls and materials
Honey Forge	Evolve Jartonite pieces and handle honey-themed crafting
Salvage	Break down accessories into 4 Nectar each

Weapon Upgrades

Weapons can be upgraded at the forge. Each upgrade level adds:

Per level	Bonus
Damage	+3%
Crit Chance	+2
PvE Damage	+1%

Upgrades require materials at the forge. Exact material costs are not published.

Dungeon Souls

Dungeon Souls are the primary crafting currency for high-end gear. They are obtained from dungeon content. Two systems consume them.

Gear Station Crafting

Recipes at the Gear Station cost between 6 and 85 Dungeon Souls depending on what you're making, in addition to other materials. The Dungeon Blade at the top end costs 85 souls and requires four named dungeon weapons as components.

Tonic Brewing

Tonics are combat buffs brewed at the Alchemist using Dungeon Souls. Each tonic costs 3 Dungeon Souls + 12,000 gold + 1 additional item per brew.

Tonic	Buffs	Duration
Ninja	+25 Speed, +10% Crit Chance	12-40 min
Ironskin	+15 Toughness, +25 HP	12-40 min
Predator	+20 Strength, +10% Crit Damage	12-40 min
Lucky	+40 Luck	12-40 min
Mana	+40 Wisdom, +20 Regeneration	12-40 min

Tonics before dungeons

Pop a tonic before entering a dungeon. With one life per run and no time limit, every stat point matters. Ninja and Predator are both strong picks for damage-focused runs; Ironskin is the safe pick for tanking bosses.

Accessories and Extra Slots

Accessories slot into your accessory and equipment menu and grant passive bonuses while equipped. You have 8 non-armour slots total: 4 ACCESSORY slots (I-IV, rank and permission gated) plus dedicated Ring, Amulet, Bracelet, and Artifact slots. Full details and stat tables are on the Gear and Accessories page.

Salvaging any accessory returns exactly 4 Nectar.
